Just so people don't forget.

Spencer was only given a one-year deal.

Which basically says to me that as soon as we land someone who offers more than being able to eat five parma's in one sitting, he'll be gone.

Daw is not the answer, for the hundredth time. But I'd have him over Spencer on any given day for a third or fourth rounder.

Gawn has shown just how difficult he can be to match-up on as a forward and I firmly believe that if we wish for him to continue playing consistent football for entire seasons at our club, he is going to need a helluva lot more support than the odd Pedo/Watts cameo in the ruck. He has had three knee oppos and is the second tallest ruckman in the league and not far from the heaviest either I would imagine. The club would be well aware of this and I think as soon as we get someone in who can also provide a genuine forward target and can kick goals, we'll see a double-team situation in which Gawn will have more periods forward.

Would love a quality forward/ruckman. But Daw is better than what we currently have and will provide further support whilst the Kings continue developing their bodies and footy at VFL.

Ben Brown, Mason Cox, Mike Pike... It'll click for Daw at some stage.

Tell me this isn't true.

    Can you show me Dawes then since he arrived at the club?

    How many games has he influenced besides the one against Adelaide?

    We get it BA. You rate Daw very highly.

    I haven't mentioned or made an argument for Dawes so I don't get your point, sorry.

    My argument was that a player who has a highlights reel obviously looks good in it. Point being it's a pretty weak tool to convince someone a player has any worth.

    (FWIW Dawes highlight package makes him look like a star, Neeld probably watched this and drafted him based on it. How'd that work out?)

    Fn Starks.

     

    The only Stark I trust is Tony.

    Just sign the Accords, Steve...

     

    (That's a lot of pop culture right there...)

    Where is the Demonland GoT thread so I can outline everything wrong with this post?

    Who exactly?

    He has not been charged with any crimes.

    He is struggling to get a Guernsey because he is back up to Goldstein .

    He goes well at VFL level.

    Well worth consideration I would think.

    He was charged, but not convicted.

    I think I started a thread on how I wouldn't mind stealing from Daws as a rookie fro North late last year.

     

    to post that we should consider trading Salem, ANB, Hunt or Kent for him is just ludicrous, to be nice

    As someone who's privy to a lot of inside information (due family involvement at the club), I hope we stay well away from Daw. There's a lot more to his story than just past off-field issues and lots of potential.

    Whilst he has potential to actually be a good player, he has much more potential to cause disharmony amongst the playing group. Unfortunately it's his off field actions (re: training, attitude & respect for other players) that I would suggest are most of concern than any past alleged actions.

    Wow. 

    He would be be way past it now.

    Bad culture at the Saint too- back then at least.

    Clearly we won't be chasing Daw, if it was to happen it needed to be last year so he could play this year and possibly part of next depending on how quickly The Weed and Hulett develop.

    When he's on he's a terrific presence. My only concern is that he has the aerobic capacity of Russ Hinze.

    was quite young at the time

    listened to an interview of him the other day. he spoke very well, articulate and intelligent

    agree, seems to be way past it now

    don't think saty could cope with the guns though

    Daw gets pushed around too easily, if my sister fed him up on her scones ( more like chunks of granite ) then he would put weight on in no time. At this stage it is a no for me.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
